I've always liked that fox guy Jordi but he seems really negative lately...if somone brain can operate at the level of racing and understanding wich setting there in ..there is nothing but benefits he talking about old tech...the new ones are wireless way faster more efficient..rock shox is way above fox when it comes to electronic shifting and parts .. and like Bruni has 3 different settings he obviously one fortwilliam because he used it in the top section that is completely flat and was up by 1.5 seconds

This track is like a breath of fresh air. For the riders and the spectators. I just hope the UCI coverage does it justice

All my praise for filling the content -gap- chasm left by the official promoter! 🤘

Awesome fresh course. I love watching the course develop. Great course design

where did you guys get those cool "not an e bike" water bottles that look like a battery?! those are super cool!

4:30 my boy got the airbag mode on

O kurwa 🤌

I'm sure the racing will be tight, but the course looks boring. Not many places where riders can find creative lines and too many catch berms. Then the few steep, loose sections just look like a garbage afterthought.

Miss the days John tomac wins dh races with a CC bike

I knew this clip would be a clip... Ive been running hi riser bars for years as well 50mm + running 40mm with spacers on a one up ebar now and wish it was 60mm

Is there a Dh track also or only this jumpline?

4:40….bless you….bless you!

Remember the guy who made the raised reversed stem maybe there’s something to this riding more upright thing.

Dakota could be a comedian imo

coolest Bar that i have seen in a while

I rate you will get better ride from a larger clamp on the top triple clamp , as you now have more bar material, so a sweet (bar) leverage to clamp ratio will be the money. " give me a large enough lever I'll move the world "

Track looks pretty good 👍

Vali Hali should be name Vali Hauling

Thank god you're here Vital. 🙏

Thanks so much for the footage. Excellent as always !!

Lets go Ronannnn!

Been riding high risers for years, most friends say that It looks ridicolous. But for me they work better and give me more confidence. Form follows function. I would ride the most ugly bike if it was working perfectly for me. Function to me is all that matters.

thanks Vital so good

Super cool to hear the process and thought. Obviously the setup is working for the dude. Love to see it.

I ve been running 80mm riser bars on my mtb for the past few years, i have the same problem long legs, normal arms, and a neck ache if i run normal bars, on ya Dak for doing whats right for you❤

Dakotah "Chopper" Norton ⛳

I ran Cowan hi rise 2006 to 2010 then Dartmoor hi rise from 2012 to today. 3 inch and 3 and a half inch respectively. Loved the rise but dirt jump bars don't have enough back sweep. Take the steepest chutes with ease probably lose some front end control in the corners but saved my life getting thrown out the front door hundreds of times. I have a high ape index but not much power so the extra leverage for lifting the front is also a bonus. Also better for table tops as the top tube is effectively lower. As far as aesthetics go it's more BMX and less road bike which is a win for me.

Bikes have gotten silly long, so more people are waking up to getting big sweep bars.

Bring back bmx bars

Wish I knew who all the riders are.

Some crazy turns.

Well good thing we have a Gaylord add it has nothing to do with mountain biking don’t forget children to put trans fluid on your chain

I love all the in depth discussion about body position, front end loading, geometry, suspension, etc. Bottom line, if Dakota doesn't feel like he's going over the bars, he'll go faster. It seems to work. Maybe he should put a shroud over them so nobody can tell what exactly is going on in there...

How we have world cup in poland

Fellow T-Rex here, 40mm minimum rise and 465mm-475mm reach feels best. I always seem to be in between M & L on most frames, so annoying...

It was awesome meeting you at The Rock but even more so at Bakers and seeing how "normal" you are, keep killing it brother!

Wtg Neko Mullaly... don't let them know you figured out a awesome line . Good luck

This is a proper DH course. Had a little of everything. Its gonna be some good racing.

New tracks are always exciting ro watch

Fact michelin is sponsor but best Teams dont use them

Bar height from BB would be a great fitment measurement. RAD fitment really.

I ran Renthal bars on my Foes back in 97. LOL actual ATV bars on my downhill race ride. I didn't suck at racing but I loved the personal challenge and the adrenaline of riding crazy stuff. Plattekill was where we found the limits. We made the california pro riders cry when sport class riders like me dropped off a 12 foot drop in a race course with them all standing around during practice

4:58 going over the berm

I find it so strange that roadies spend so much time and money on bike fit, yet it rarely gets talked about in MTB.

the chain stay length is 442, not 435 as stated - as measured both by myself and several reviewers.
